The Academy's Doomed Side Character

Next Day...

"So, Professor Jade was the traitor who let Kai Foster slip through the academy’s security during the entrance exam duel, and he was also involved in the ambush with Ethan and Kai Foster, is that correct?"

"Yes, it is."

"And he was killed—not by Cadet Leo Taylor, but by someone else while Leo was trying to apprehend him?"

"Yes, ma’am."

"...Do you know who that person is?"

"No."

That was a lie.

I had a good idea who it was, but now wasn’t the time to tell the Chairman.

I’d handle that person myself—later.

After all, he had something I needed.
